Description
A rare selection of some of the best vintages of Ornellaia, one of Italy's most collectible wines. This lot includes one bottle each of the 2013, 2014, and the glorious 2015 vintage. Ornellaia is a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petite Verdot. Its reputation stands as one of the great wines of the world, along with the great first growths of Bordeaux and the best Californian wines. These three vintages of Ornellaia are young but will evolve and mature into spectacular wines, that can be laid down for many years.
"A big, brooding red, packed with blackberry, plum and earth flavors, all wrapped in spicy oak. Monolithic now, finishing with saline mineral elements, a leafy tobacco edge and dense, mouthcoating tannins. Terrific potential. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2038."
